Halfway down the runway on Alaska airlines out of Seattle and the pilot slams on the brakes and shares we must go back to the gate. Quite a scary experience. Not entirely sure what’s happening. Someone sneak on board?

Okay this insane. A pilot on the plane in front of us just went rogue and took off on an empty plane bypassing orders from the tower. The tower ordered a full stop and they’re trying to communicate with that pilot. Whaaaaaat!

People occasionally ask me what the line is for full yolo and too far yolo and I think the other pilot definitely has qualified a new “too far yolo” example.

“He has flown out to the Olympic peninsula. Military aircraft is on scene and trying to talk him down” WHAT!

Flights are being diverted to Portland. Still a full ground stop at Seattle airport.

My phone is about to run out of battery but everyone is fine and just chilling inside the terminal trying to figure out if we can get on a flight out. This is also the most notifications I’ve ever received - twitter goes hard. Hopefully I’ll make it to my buddy’s wedding tomorrow

What kind of plane? I’m stuck in this hell too!

All we heard is it was a horizon plane.

Unreal. You must have been on the plane in front of us. Saw an Alaska plane pull away, we were next, 45 min later here we are.

Yeah we were halfway down the runway then slammed on the brakes. Pretty scary.

NONE of this is on the news... makes you wonder how much stuff happens we never hear about...

Reporters work to get the facts first, before reporting.

This is a good point. As things develop we are thirsty for facts and it’s easy to forget that journalists are doing their diligence behind the scenes.
